August14, 2020: Inspiration


SAC


Inspiration can be found in many places; however, one needs to be open to it

and that is the problem--allowing for inspiration to enter one's life

Lately, I've been inspired by music, such as, the Beastie Boys and the

great programs on Apple TV.  The majority of their programs

are inspirational, but the program Homes 

was fantastic because of the possibilities what individuals could

accomplish with architecture and the land outside

One doesn't have to live in a box

but can think outside of one

I'm also inspired by quilters who

use scraps to create new quilts with shapes and forms

and another quilter who pulls out her stash of fabric, which

didn't work exactly for her at one time, but now does several

years later

Does inspiration=time?

I'm almost done reading Just Mercy and completed my legal

class in Criminal law.  It is a paralegal degree, which I'm pursuing

 to add to my Bachelor's degree which I already have

This was an eye opener and inspiration as well

To find out that innocent people are unjustly accused of crimes

and put through the system and have their lives ruined

It happens everyday to different degrees--and once you realize

how the law works-it is a little disturbing-siding with real criminals and 

persecuting the innocent

Thankfully, there are people out there like Bryan Stevenson

from Equal Justice Initiative  who chose to help others out

rather than the green-he is inspirational

Unfortunately, the innocent accused of crimes, which they did not commit

time must pass before justice is really served

in this instance 

time does not equal inspiration

At the end of everything-I am inspired 

Inspired to read, to grow my garden, to sew, to listen to news

to create a life for myself

Inspiration around everyone if only we are open to it
